Synopsis: Georgia Haggai was shot to death when she answered her front door just before dawn on March 31, 1986.

Neighbors phoned police after they were awakened by gunshots at about 5 a.m. Officers arrived to find Haggai lying in her entryway, clad in a robe and dead from multiple gunshot wounds to the head and upper body. Haggai's front door was standing open and the screen door was shut but unlocked. There were no signs of forced entry into the house and no signs of a struggle.

A neighbor saw a single suspect running away from Haggai's residence immediately after the gunfire. The suspect disappeared down the street, and another neighbor then heard the screeching tires of a car speeding away. The suspect was never identified.

Detectives believe that Haggai must have known her assailant because she was very security conscious.

Haggai was a prominent and successful San Diego businesswoman. She was the owner and president of Georgia's Inc., a temporary personnel service for bookkeepers and accountants. She was also a physical fitness enthusiast and was actively involved in her community, particularly as a member of the Soroptimists.

Synopsis: In 1985 and 1986, a series of commercial burglaries kept law enforcement officials busy throughout the San Diego area. The burglars worked in groups, breaking windows with rocks to gain entry to office buildings and taking valuable office equipment such as IBM Selectric typewriters.

On May 14, 1986 at about 6:10 a.m., Ed LeDuc, an unarmed Sharp Hospital security officer, was checking the corporate office building at 3131 Berger Avenue when he apparently interrupted one of these burglaries in progress. The suspects attacked LeDuc and clubbed him to death with an antique rifle removed from one of the offices. The suspects then fled, leaving behind several IBM Selectric typewriters stacked just inside a door leading to the parking lot.

Synopsis: Linda Younger worked as a cab driver for Yellow Cab. On June 27, 1986, shortly after midnight, a supervisor for the Yellow Cab Company responded to an address in Old Town to check a citizen's complaint of an unattended cab parked at the curb with its lights shining into a window. The supervisor arrived there and found Younger, who had been shot to death while sitting in the front seat of her cab. The motive for the shooting was presumed to be either robbery or attempted robbery. Detectives noted that Younger was shot while sitting in the front passenger seat of her cab, not in the driver's seat where she would normally sit to operate the cab. This case may be related to the murder of cab driver Sharyn Kamrath which occurred one month later on July 29, 1986.

Synopsis: Harold Stubbs lived alone in an apartment at 1342 Eighth Avenue. Stubbs was last seen alive on Sunday evening, July 20, 1986, at about 3:30 p.m. when he briefly visited his next-door neighbor. Stubbs told the neighbor he had a couple of friends over and was getting some beer to bring back. The neighbor never saw Stubbs after that but continued to hear Stubbs and his guests partying and talking in Stubbs' apartment until about 9 p.m., at which time the neighbor heard the guests leave. After that it was quiet.

The following morning, Stubbs failed to show up at work. The manager of the complex and another tenant entered his apartment and found Stubbs dead inside his bedroom. He had been bound hand and foot and strangled to death.

A neighbor saw a brown car similar to a Ford Pinto, with Florida license plates, parked in front of Stubbs' apartment that weekend. At various times the neighbor also saw two males in their 20s going back and forth between the car and Stubbs' apartment. The neighbor described one of the men as dark-haired with a moustache, and one as blond-haired.

Investigators would like to speak to a subject named Felipe Sanchez Gomez regarding this case. Gomez was a close friend of the victim and may have information of benefit to the case. Gomez was described as being 29 to 32 years old at the time of this incident, about 5'-7” tall and 150 lbs. Gomez at one time lived at 4029 Delta Street and had a brother named Alfonso who worked for National Steel and Shipbuilding and lived at 2502 Division Street. (See photo of Felipe Gomez pictured above.)

Synopsis: Sharyn Kamrath worked as a cab driver for Coast Cab. On the night of July 29, 1986, she picked up a male fare at Sixth Avenue and Broadway in downtown San Diego. The man got into the back seat and asked to go to 8101 Gilman Drive in La Jolla.

When Kamrath eventually pulled off the I-5 Freeway onto Gilman Drive, (an undeveloped area in 1986) the man produced a handgun and ordered Kamrath to pull to the curb. The man robbed Kamrath of ten dollars in cash, ordered her to move to the passenger seat, shot her in the neck at point-blank range and pushed her out through the passenger door onto the shoulder of the road. The man then drove away in Kamrath's cab. Kamrath's cab was found two hours after the shooting, abandoned on Fourth Avenue near Upas Street in Hillcrest.

Several passers-by alerted police when they saw Kamrath lying on the side of the road. Kamrath was rushed to a nearby hospital, and although she was paralyzed from the neck down, she was conscious and alert and gave officers a detailed account of what had occurred and a description of the suspect.

Kamrath described the suspect as follows: a black male, late 20s to early 30s, with a medium build, clean shaven and with short black hair. The suspect possibly had a Cuban, Dominican or Puerto Rican accent. (See sketch pictured above.)

Unfortunately, Kamrath was never able to recover from her injury and died in the hospital on August 26, 1986.

This case may be related to the murder of cab driver Linda Sue Younger, which occurred one month earlier in Old Town.

Synopsis: The suspect is a Hispanic male who was in his 20's at the time of the murder. He is 6'1”, 200 lbs, with black hair and brown eyes. He has a medium complexion and was clean shaven. He is known to be arrogant, headstrong and pushy. He is also known to be a drug dealer. It is believed that he may now shave his head and he may have gained weight. He may also now have a thick mustache. After the murder he fled to Mexico where he remains a fugitive from justice. It is believed that he fled to Chilapa, Municipio Rosa Morada, Nayarit, Mexico. An outstanding warrant for his arrest is still in effect.

On January 28, 1987, the victim and the suspect had an altercation regarding the suspect dealing drugs at the apartment complex. Witnesses at the scene said that the suspect called the victim to the side of the house from an adjoining yard. The witnesses then heard gunshots and found the victim next to the fence with gunshot wounds. He later died from those wounds.

Synopsis: On June 12, 1990, at about 10 p.m., a park ranger driving along State Route 78 enroute to his job at the Wild Animal Park noticed what he believed to be a woman walking along the side of the roadway in an apparent “dazed” state. The ranger continued on and reported to work, but about four hours later he had an opportunity to return to the area to check on the woman, at which time he found her again in the same location as before, but this time sitting slumped on the edge of the highway unresponsive and bleeding from a head wound. The guard summoned help and the woman was taken via ambulance to Palomar Medical Center, where it was discovered that the woman was actually a man dressed in female attire, and that he had suffered a single gunshot wound to the head. The victim never regained consciousness and died later in the day. Relatives identified the deceased man as Rafael Sanchez.

Meanwhile, that same morning at about 7 a.m., a truck driver traveling along the same area of Highway 78 spotted a second victim; the body of what appeared to be a woman on the shoulder of the road, about 50 yards away from where the first victim had been found. The truck driver flagged down a passing San Diego Sheriff's Department unit who checked and determined the victim was in fact deceased, having been killed by a single gunshot wound to the head. This victim, like the first one, was actually a man dressed in female attire. He was later identified as Castro Estoban.

Estoban and Sanchez were transvestites who worked as prostitutes. Sanchez frequented several bars in Escondido, in particular the Pastime Club on West Grand Avenue, where he was known as “Blanca.” Estoban, aka “Cinthia,” had recently arrived in the Escondido area. Each had been killed with a single gunshot (.22 long rifle bullets) to the head. Detectives believe the victims were shot somewhere else, possibly in a vehicle, and their bodies dumped at the location. The motive for the slayings is unknown.
